I basically deconstructed my jalapeño poppers and stuffed them into chicken and the results where mouth watering!! I used bread crumbs because I was out of panko, but I think seasoned panko would give these a wonderful crunch like I used on my Skinny Baked Jalapeño Poppers.

I made the serving size a generous two pieces, so a simple vegetable, fiesta lime rice, or a salad on the side would make this a complete meal. Trust me, you won't want to stop at just one!

don't know where you are from, but I"ve seen thin sliced chicken breasts in almost every grocery store I've ever been to - Shoprite, Stop & shop, Pathmark, A&P, Superfresh, etc. I think any big chain grocery store carries them. Or, you can just thin slice the cutlets yourself.

We don't have pre-packaged thin cutlets in stores where I'm from, but we do have chicken tenders (about 2 oz each and 12 tenders in a package). Pounded them out myself and then it's 3 tenders per serving. This recipe pretty much takes one of my favorite dips and puts it into breaded chicken... delicious yet again Gina!

I've had a bit of trouble with some of the stuffed chicken in the past - the filling ends up oozing out for me. What do you think about using one thicker cutlet, then slicing a pocket into it, and stuffing it that way (double the filling)? One 6oz cutlet would then be 1 serving for 9 points.

thanks, I will definitely try it then! I've made chicken with a pocket before and thought it was pretty easy too.. I was curious about the cooking time as well though. I'm thinking since they would be thicker cutlets, that they would take longer..

Hey Gina - This looks great. Just a recipe idea- maybe you could do Jalapeno Poppers for appetizers? I bet if you grilled them or baked in oven with some of the low fat cheeses that are out now, you could make them 1pt apps!

Made this for dinner and it was wonderful! My husband thought it was a big hit, too. Definitely only needed 20 min in the oven. Panko was the way to go...perfect light crunch. Will add a bit more salt to the Panko next time.

I just made these for my husband and we both loved them!! I knew it was going well when he starting "yumming" while eating. He could not believe I got them "off that healthly website". He's Mexican and the fresh jalapenos were what sealed the deal for him. Thanks for a great recipe, it's going into our regular rotation!

Genius idea! I love incorporating the jalapeno popper things into other dishes. I once made cornbread crusted chicken with a jalapeno popper sauce and it was amazing. I think jalapeno poppers just makes everything better.

Gina, I have a dumb question...I'm fairly new to cooking and we are about to get a freezer for the garage. Would it be ok to roll these up and then freeze them for later on? I'm about to go on vacation for a month and want to make sure that my BF is well fed. Is there anything that's not ok to freeze and bake later?

I made this last night and it was DELICIOUS!!! I paired it with the black bean and corn salsa and it was a perfect combination. I was afraid that the jalepeno's would be too spicy for my children but the cream cheese cut the spicy level down which was great. These definitely taste like jalepeno poppers and would never guess that they are light! This one is a keeper!!!

Made these last night, I had not planned on it so had to scrounge for bread crumbs. I used half panko and half baked tortilla chips that I crushed in the food processor. They were amazing, a keeper for sure.

Gina- in most of your rolled stuffed breasts, you never use tooth picks and they manage to stay together just perfect! I'm wondering why these have to get the picks (im pretty lazy if you cant tell)... is it the lack of cheese on top?

Thanks for everything! 25lbs down and have you to thank for much of it!!!!

This was delicious! I had it last night for dinner. I didn't like how the thin sliced chicken breasts looked at the store, so I just bought regular boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Then I cut them in half length wise and put them between two pieces of plastic wrap and pounded them thin with a rolling pin. Worked great!

Made this tonight. AMAZING! This would be one I could make for a dinner party and my guests would think I was going off of my eating plan! I paired it with a great brown rice side salad. 2 cups cooked brown rice, 1 jar Trader Joe's corn salsa, 1 yellow pepper (seeded and diced), 2 jalapeno peppers (seeded and diced), 1/2 diced red onion, juice from 2 limes, 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped), 1 can black beans, 1 can kidney beans (both 15 oz size, drained and rinsed), 1 teaspoon chopped garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin, and a little salt and pepper. I wonder what the points are on this side dish. Everything is healthy.......Gina??

These sound fabulous! I want to make these for everyone in our camping group at Rock Fest this summer.....think these would do alright on a grill, if I soak the tpicks?Thanks for all the fabulous help all the time!Becky

I made this last night. Unbelievably good!! I used fat free cream cheese (that's what i had on hand) and it was still soooo tasty!The mister also loved it, which is a plus :) This will definitely be going in our regular rotation

I made these last night for dinner as well! Excellent! I followed the recipe as written EXCEPT for on three of the rolls I used the cheese mixture before I put the jalapenos in (DD & I are not big jalapeno fans) and then for the rest of them I added in the peppers. My daughters boyfriend loved them and and 4 roll-ups (I made 10 total). Hubby liked them quite a bit but said he thought they needed more filling, and they probably did as I didn't up the amount of filling I just made it stretch for the extra two rolls. I also think next time I may try cutting the pockets into the chicken breasts and filling them that way rather than making rolls out of them, just to see the different.

Either way, this recipe will be a repeat in our house and will be added to the cookbooks that I'm putting together for my kiddos. Thanks for a great one!

Awesome recipe. It was a little trickier than I anticipated as I only had regular chicken breasts and tried to pound them out to make them thinner....except I don't have a meat mallet, so I used my pestle. Which then ripped through the chicken. Nevertheless, I soldiered on and other than it being a bit messy (the cheese mixture melted out of the chicken), no harm done.

I will just buy the chicken cutlets next time for a much faster/less messy experience.

Made this and the fiesta rice for dinner and it was wonderful!! I used canned jalapenos (much easier) and served a little marinara sauce over the chicken. My husband who is not a fan of light recipes has loved everyone that I have made from your blog. Thanks!!

This was delicious!! I was a little skeptical at first, because it didn't seem like it would be enough filling but it was soo yummy! My 2 year old LOVED it (I made one for him without the jalapenos in it) I will DEFINITELY be making this again!! Thank you so much Gina :)

I made this also last nite(I love to read comments from all those who tried, as opposed to I am going to try it, that way I feel like its been tested). Anyways, I "cheated" on the bacon and sprinkled in Bacon Bacon from Tastefully simple, mmmmmmm. NO mess/smell/grease to clean up. I also don't care for spicy food and I enjoyed the crunch of the fresh jalepeno and it seemed not "hot", I am guessing cuz it was fresh? I left in 80% of seeds. Thumbs up overall.

I made this tonight without the bacon and scallions and it was delicious! I used fat free cream cheese and extra jalapenos and the spice level was perfect! Next time I will try them with the bacon and scallions, I just didn't have any and being VERY pregnant, I didn't want to go to the store today. Very yummy!

As an Australian who misses jalapeno poppers, I had to make this!! Was sooooooo tasty!! I used whole breasts and just made a pocket and still worked wonderfully. Thank you so much for a recipe that reminded me of my many holidays in USA without all of the fat and calories!!

I am a bigger woman, and I have just started Weight Watchers on the Points+ program. I just have to say that this site is a wonderful discovery! I wasn't so sure that I could make it, but I have faith now! This recipe looks amazing, and you get 2 breasts per serving, for only 9 points, INCREDIBLE!

Thank you for this! It was only my husband and I eating, so I made 4 pieces, but made the same amount of filling - which was a good idea, because even though I toothpicked the ends, some of the filling still baked out. So I just nuked the leftover filling and made a little "bed" on the plate and put the 2 pieces of baked chicken on top - problem solved and no cheesy goodness lost :) I also seasoned my plain panko bread crumbs with a lime zest/pepper spice blend. We LOVED it, and it will definitely be a regular on our dinner menu. I served it with cilantro lime rice and sauteed green beans with some citrus flavoring.

I prepped this last night and popped in in the oven today and it was AWESOME (as any of your recipes I've tried so far are)I didn't use bacon since I'm not a big fan. I had leftover backed mac and cheese that I had to use or lose so that and steamed string beans were the side. I used the mixture that came out of the cutlets on my string beans. I'm going to use the rest of the cream cheese to make a warm dip it was that good. As someone else suggested I'm going to try either a pocket or just fold over a cutlet rather than roll them next time and I wish I had a BBQ to try them grilled.

super good! drizzled extra lime at the end. Biggest takeaway is that I made an extra batch of the filling and keep it in the fridge. Makes an awesome egg white omelette with some chipolte seasoning added! So yummy!

Of all the recipes I've tried so far (and I've loved them all) this was the BEST. Absolutely delicious. I have to admit, I used Hormel bacon bits to save time. Thank you for a site which has made dieting easy.

This is sooo delicious. I didn't coat the chicken in bread crumbs, instead I sprayed it with a little extra virgin olive oil and sprinkled some Mrs. Dash chicken rub on it. Baked it for 20min and it was amazing. Will definently be making this again :)

Anyone else put this into the recipe builder? Did it today, left out the bacon since we are not fans and the points came to 10. The only difference I made was I couldn't find chicken cutlets in the database so used chicken breast, raw - 24 oz. Help!

This was ridiculously delicious!!!!!!!!!!!! Kroger is silly & runs out of chicken breast really fast but I was able to get the small strips of chicken breast. I was worried all the cheese would come out but it actually worked really well! They were like bite size jalapeno popper chicken! This was amazing!!! Seriously amazing!!!!! Although my mouth is slightly on fire. :)

I made this tonight and it was great! I don't like spicy food, so I was a little apprehensive about using all three jalapenos (even with seeds removed). There was no need to worry; these turned out great!

I made a couple changes: 1) I used turkey bacon, and 2) I only made 6 cutlets. I recalculated points given my changes (keeping the same amount of filling, even though I didn't quite use it all, and subtracting 1.3 oz of breadcrumbs since I only used 1.1 oz). My points turned out to be 7 points per piece, but having one piece paired with the fiesta rice and a big serving of veggies is more than enough!

These were awesome!! I have the hardest time with stuffing and rolling chicken, (I'm just challenged that way), so I cut a pocket and stuffed them, then just put them pocket up in the pan, so they wouldn't leak, and it worked great. Not messy at all, crispy and good! Loved every bit of it. I couldn't really taste the bacon, though, so I might leave it out next time.

Loved this! And so did my boyfriend, which is great! He loves spicy so I added more jalapeno, used the panko as you said, used turkey bacon instead, and used fat free cream cheese! Delicious. He even heat up the leftovers and ate them the next night! I love being able to cook something with a lot less calories, but still having that feeling of eating something that isn't "diet" food. My BF asked me if I was sure it was from skinnytaste:) Thank you for your website...it's amazing!! I am making the shephard's pie tonight! (He is British, so I hope he approves:))

This was AMAZING!! This is the first recipe I made from this site and now I can't wait to explore more! I honestly couldn't believe how wonderful this was considering the nutritional stats.One quick question. Well, maybe two. 1) Can we email Gina directly with questions? If so, how? 2) I am an online Weight Watchers member and tried to calculate the points by using the recipe builder but ended up with two points higher than listed above. When, however, I used just the nutritional information provided by Gina, I found it to be exactly as she has reported. I didn't include the jalapenos as I know sometimes the recipe builder adds for 0 point veggies, so I really don't see what happened! Thanks for your thoughts.2)

This was really delicious! I used panko bread crumbs and seasoned them with Fiesta Party Dip mix from Tastefully Simple. I also made the Lime Fiesta Rice for the side, as suggested. Everything was fresh, flavorful and light. Will definitely put this into my normal rotation. Glad to know that it is easily freezable as well!

Making this for the second time tonight! When I first made it my husband said with a big smile on his face, "I insist this is on our dinner rotation weekly!". He absolutely loves jalapeno poppers and this is a great way to make the same taste into a meal.

I'm a casserole kind of girl and luckily my husband is a casserole kind of guy. As delicious as this recipe looks and sounds I didn't want to mess with chicken cutlets mainly because I had boneless/skinless chicken breasts in the freezer. I took them out, cut them up (frozen, with a good knife), mixed everything up together and threw it in one dish. I'm eating it now, with a Pampered Chef skinny margarita and some lime tortilla chips and it is TO DIE FOR!!! Thanks so much!!!

Made this for dinner tonight and it was a HUGE HIT...even my 6 year old asked for seconds! I had to substitute red onions for scallions, as I didn't have scallions on hand. I look forward to what it will taste like with the right ingredients :). I sautéed tomatoes, mushrooms, red onions and garlic and served that as a side. They paired nicely together. This will be regular in our house!! Thank you so much!

Another winner! I only had one fresh pepper so I added a bunch of jarred jalapeños as well- such a good addition. I can't get over how much these really taste like poppers... you hit the nail on the head with this one Gina! Thanks so much!

My huband and I made this last night and it was delicious!! He absolutely loved it. We used seasoned Panko in place of the bread crumbs and substituted chopped green chiles from the can in place of jalapenos just to make it easier. It was fantastic and is going into the regular rotation.

I made these tonight for dinner and they are delish! I could not believe the flavor...oooo the bacon was so good! I made it with your black bean, tomato, avocado side dish. What an amazing complete healthy meal. Thanks as always Gina.

This was delicious, my husband had seconds (always a good sign). I'm even a wuss with spice but the jalapenos added so much flavor and very little bite. But I think the points+ that was listed is wrong...I followed it to a tee and imputed it in the recipe builder myself and it read 11 points+

This was a big hit in our family. My guy said that it was his favorite. i made the Fiesta Lime Rice recipe, as suggested and it was perfect! He doesn't really like rice but he ate a ton of this. And, of course, i felt great that i was making him a healthy meal. i found this very easy to make. i've rolled chicken breasts up before. Learned how to make cutlets (cut a breast in half) on the internet. i find that if i dip the chicken thoroughly, in this case, the oil mixture, then the breadcrumbs, it seals the rolls up and makes the inside mixture not leak as much. Even if it does leak - it's still great!Thank you so much. You're a genius!

I made this last night with chicken breast that I cut and pounded down - it was AMAZING! My fiancee woke up in the middle of the night to have his 3rd helping! I skipped the scallions and didn't miss them. I LOVE the idea of using the lime and oil to help the breadcrumbs stick - I could faintly taste the lime on the cooked chicken. PERFECT!

I've made this at least 4 times since I've discovered this recipe and I couldnt be more in love with it! I skip the bacon and add a bit more lime and it's amazing! Thanks for the great blog with the most delicious recipes!

Once again, a GREAT recipe. We had this tonight with the Cauliflower fritters (yes, a bit rich all together, but YUM). My husband's first words were, "I like the lime breadcrumbs." We loved it. As usual, it halved perfectly. I used turkey bacon instead of regular. And I love the suggestion of the poster who mentioned putting the chicken on a rack in the dish so it gets toasty all around. I'll have to try that one.

Oh, one other difference, I put the chopped jalepenos into the pan with the bacon (once the bacon was all crispy) and just cooked it for a minute to soften. BUT BE CAREFUL! Cooking hot peppers can make strong, fumes - do not breath them in. But that kept them from being crunchy.
